Image classification and object detection have gained widespread use in recent years. Content categorization and monitoring, disease diagnosis from medical images, identifying terrain in satellite images, and detecting road elements for self-driving cars are classification problems at their core. PyTorch is a popular framework for these tasks—offering a useful mix of user-friendliness, deep learning functionalities, customization, and optimization.

In this course, you will cover the fundamentals of classification and object detection models and apply them to actual datasets using PyTorch. You’ll learn popular architectures and how to implement and fine-tune them for better results. Finally, you’ll learn to convert models to ONNX and OpenVINO to deploy in edge devices.

By the end of this course, you will have acquired the necessary skills to be able to use PyTorch for image identification and object detection in real-world applications

Using PyTorch for Image Classification and Object Detection

We can split our object detection models into two categories:

* One-stage detection models
* Two-stage detection models 

We categorize the models with these names since two-stage models accomplish object detection tasks in two separate steps by extracting the region of interest first and then applying classification in sequential networks, whereas one-stage models do it in one step. 





Learn about the fundamental differences between one-stage and two-stage object detection models.
